Cheap CO2 regulator

[maxfreke88]

Wondering where i can get a co2 reg. (20 oz or 12g) for $30 or under. PLS Help! (wont be home till eight dont expect a reply till then sry)

THANKS

Don't think you can get them under $30, I think they're more about $50.

[maxfreke88]

well i was thinking mabe a 12 gram around $10

[bigbob12345]

But with the 12 grams you will mabey get 1 chamber fill too 100psi if you have a small enough chamber. I don't have any experience with regulated co2 but you diffenetly should go with a paintball tank and spend the $60-$70 on a reg for that because they cost like a dollar to fill and you can get a decent amount of shots off them.Or you could even more preferably get a bulk co2 tank and reg but that is really expensive.

thanks!!:D but it will have to wait, i have to save money for a car. Does anyone know a formula to figure out how many fills a 20oz CO2 tank will fill
an air chamber 2 a certain psi

THANKS

It's more like $3-5 to fill a 20oz CO2 tank...

You can get a good regulator for about $50-80.... The better end being around $75...

When working with CO2, a blow-out safety valve is almost necessary.... If your reg blows, you have 800-3000 psi rushing in PVC pipe... not good to say at least.

A 20oz tank should be $20 or less... One with an On\Off valve would be easier to use...

i've also heard that some people make their own outta some pipe, springs, etc.
but i'd just be safe and buy a professional one, 50 bucks won't set you back very far in terms of getting a car

The best you can hope for, is that you will find a table that shows how much room CO2 gas takes up at 100psi at a certain temperature, then you need to find out the volume of the 20oz tank, compared to your chamber and work out how many times it will fill to that PSI.

Edit: Beaten, that's exactly what you need.

[bigwick]

well maxfreak, beacuse your a cannon noob, it will depend on how big your chamber is. therefore if you find out how big your chaber is in ounces. for example, say your chamber can hold one ounce of air at 1psi, just multiply and youll be able to figure it out

Really for me at a paintball store it costs a dollar.

[maxfreke88]

but doesn't co2's liquid characteristics change the gas storing capability's thus making the equation inadequate for the job specified. For example a 20oz co2 canister can hold 20oz's of liquid co2 but **oz of gas :tongue3:

[bigwick]

k then you figure it out smartypants lol

[maxfreke88]

had to dig out the dictionary for that one :tard:
